It's 10:00. Do you know where your moderators are?
Hate raids are taking over Twitch and causing many streamers to get banned.
Now hate raid bots are starting to target discord servers and with discord's
new update, your server might become the next prime target.
But don't worry, there is a very simple and easy way to prevent that.
Hey, Bobas, I'm Mari
And today I want to show you how to adjust your discord's
permissions with discord to new threads update. What are threads?
Threads allow multiple topics
and a channel to exist and grow with their own dedicated space temporarily
without having to commit a whole new channel for the server.
This makes it a lot easier to follow along,
especially when you have a big server, because that helps eliminate
a lot of confusion when multiple people are talking all at once .
It's similar to how Facebook tried adding Vanish Mode in Messenger last year,
which we all know was a terrible mistake.
And now discord is going to be implementing something similar.
This feature is something that is currently in beta as I'm recording
this video, but it's going to be fully implemented on September 16.
Twenty twenty one, which is literally in 48 hours.
I want to apologize ahead of time
if this video isn't as well structured compared to my other How-To videos.
But I wanted to release this quickly.
Many people seem to have concerns over the update in regards to threads
being turned on and allowed by default from all users if you don't adjust
your settings right now.
I've been seeing many communities get their discord servers attacked,
and if they have permission to your discord threads,
they will most certainly attack your discord through that.
So let's go over a few steps
on how to make adjustments to your permission to turn this off.
So over in my discord, I have a lot of different categories here.
And if I, for whatever reason, don't want anyone to have permission
to use in threads
on my discord, I would just simply go
to one of my categories and press edit category.
Then I would go to permissions, scroll down over to whatever
permissions you want to set, which let's go to everyone here. And I
would start to disable any permissions I don't want them to have access to.
And if you scroll all the way down to text channel permissions,
you can see right here the send messages and threads , create
public threads, create private threads, all sorts of things like that.
You can literally just press the button and that will disable it.
And I really recommend that you actually click on the X button,
because if you don't and you just leave it on the slash,
there's a good chance
that they might still have access to be able to create threads.
I highly recommend disabling everyone's permission and creating a special role
to your discord to allow people to be able to talk on your channel.
This just provides a very simple extra layer of security to prevent
any type of hate raid boards that potentially might spam your discord.
It makes your discord less likely to get attacked by hate raid bots.
Once you've finished adjusting all the roles in your actual category,
you just want to go to the actual channel itself
and press edit channel and then go over to permissions
and just double check that it's synched over.
And for whatever reason, if it did not sync over,
you could just press the sync now and it will sync that channel
to the permissions that you had set for that category and just make sure
to double check every channel to ensure that you do have them all sync.
So that way you don't have to worry about
setting all these permissions individually.
Trust me, I have done this and I literally spent days
trying to readjust all my permissions
because I didn't do this in the categories before.
I had made all of the special roles and it was a pain in the butt.
Some things to keep in mind.
are that level 2 boosted servers will have access to private threads,
which means this is another feature
that you can, of course, disable members permissions on.
So what happens if you actually want to keep threads enabled on your server
and you want to know how to enable a thread for a particular member?
Well, all you have to do is go to this
plus button and select this, create a thread,
and this will literally give you the option to name your new thread, enter
whatever message you want, and then you can archive it.
If there hasn't been active within 24 hours.
Three days, one week or just one hour. It's really up to you.
But of course, it depends if you've boosted your server
for how long, you can keep that thread opened.
And if you notice over here, you can select the only people you invite in.
Moderators can see for a private thread, which is pretty nice.
If you have a very big, discord community and you're trying to moderate
and talk about things that you don't want others to see
and you don't want it to really last in your discord.
Threads does have a lot of pros, and I'm actually really excited
for threads to be opening up.
I think it's really cool to be able to have little mini conversations
that is more off topic than having to create all these multiple channels.
So that is a bonus for threads now that threads are being implemented.
It kind of makes me want to readjust my discord server again.
I'm someone who gets very peeved when people talk about something
that's not directed for that particular channel.
But of course, I know that there are a lot of concerns over the whole bot attack.
So I just wanted to show you that you can disable it and you don't have
to worry about anyone having access to make threads on your discord server.
You can literally make it so that way
Only your moderators or yourself can actually enable these threads.
So you won't have to worry about anybody else doing that.
I have spent literally days fixing my current discord server to how
I wanted it, not realizing all these timesaving shortcuts I could have done.
And I don't want any of you to get burned out
trying to learn all this stuff when I could have just.
Simply showed you what I learned.
I hope this video is helpful to you, and if you have any questions
about discord or would like to give your own tips for others on making a discord,
then please leave a comment down below and I will get back to you.
Thanks so much for watching. Bye.
